[QUOTE="Huntin1, post: 199526, member: 5730"] How often you change strings depends on how much you shoot and how well you lube the string and rail. With the Excalibur I lubed the string and rail after 5-6 shots, the string would last about 250-300 shots. I'm not sure how long the string will last on the newer compounds, haven't had mine long enough to figure that out yet. I didn't find using a rope cocker all that difficult, but then I'm 5'11" and only have one bad shoulder, I would lock my arms and use my back through most of the cocking stroke. You could try a rope cocker, but in your case I'd recommend a crank. [/QUOTE]
